Carla Fracci: Brilliant Ballet Star With the Soul Born to Dance

Like many great artists, from Verdi to Mozart, never considered by educational institutions with a capital “i”, Carla Fracci also ran the risk of not being admitted to La Scala Ballet School.

In Italy, “The Show Must Go On.” But What About in America?

La Scala, like all Italian theaters in this period was strewn with notices on the seats where a spectator cannot sit; only family members can sit next to each other. No one ever enters without having their temperature taken by kind ushers, and no one even dreams of removing their mask during the performance on pain of immediate expulsion from the hall. The terrible virus, which has locked down every sort of theatrical event activity from March to June 2020, continues to circulate among us. However, there were and still are, measures to deal with the virus, and Italians are adhering to them with discipline and rigor. This has made it possible to hold summer festivals, and starting in October, to reopen schools, movie theaters and museums. Performances will continue in November as well.

Pina Bausch, Making Life Dancing

It would be difficult to imagine what the theater of dance, or theater tout court, of the last forty years would have been without the paradigmatic experience and creativity of Pina (Philippine) Bausch. Born in Solingen, Germany, on July 11, 1940, she passed away prematurely in Wuppertal on June 30, 2009 just when she was […]

Tuscan Summer Trips of Carla Fracci with the Poet Eugenio Montale

The poet Montale loved music and dance. He first saw Carla Fracci perform on March 5th, 1955, in her performance of Farewell Steps (Passo d’addio) for La Scala’s Ballet School. His admiration continued from the moment Fracci entered into the “Corps de Ballet” to when she became a protagonist on the international scene, including a 12 year stint with the American Ballet Theatre in New York...
